About this experience

Hiking Tours in Kohala Coast is a guided walking programme on the Big Island of Hawaii, traversing lava fields, coastal trails, and ancient Hawaiian footpaths. The tours operate from the dry leeward side of Kohala, offering direct access to volcanic terrain and ocean vistas. Each excursion is led by local naturalists who explain the region's geology, flora, and cultural history.

What to expect

Tours run 3 to 5 hours, covering 4 to 8 miles over uneven lava rock and compacted dirt paths, with a midday rest stop at a shaded coastal grove.
Included in the fee are a daypack, 1.5 litres of water per person, a picnic lunch of local fruit and sandwiches, and trekking poles for steep descents.
You will walk past petroglyph fields at Puako, cross a 200-year-old lava flow from Mauna Kea, and finish at a black-sand cove where green sea turtles often rest.
The route includes a 30-minute climb up a cinder cone for a 360-degree view of the Kohala coastline and the distant Mauna Kea summit.
Suitable for adults with moderate fitness; children under 12 are not permitted, and the trail has no shade for the first two miles, so sun protection is mandatory.
Groups are capped at 10 hikers, with one guide per five participants, and the tour departs daily at 7:30 am from the Waikoloa Beach Resort shuttle stop.
